• Sourav talked about the making of the web series ‘Rajneeti’ (2023), in an interview, and mentioned that while he doesn’t support any specific political party, he does hold his own political viewpoints as politics inevitably impact everyday life. He added that he is interested in narratives that explore and test the boundaries of political concepts and ideologies. ^[4]The Times of India Sourav Chakraborty said,
  

  I am not a supporter of any particular political party but yes, I have my own political ideology since no one can escape the implications of politics in real life. Rajneeti has been made from these thoughts, these ideological differences. But it doesn’t hurt any individual political party. You would find politics everywhere – whether it’s our daily life, office or even inside a family. The story concerns of ordinary citizens, like sex, family, and money, than political intrigue. Frankly speaking, I am more interested in stories that expose the limits of political ideas and ideologies.”
